New Brighton, The Beach 1887

More about this scene
Having your photograph taken was part of a holiday, and these booths would take your photograph and turn out six or twelve copies in about an hour. The beach was where the unlicensed traders set up, and where the cheaper end of the entertainments went on, including the boxing booths and the travellers' fairground. To many people, this was the only way to get family photographs. The incoming tide, of course, cleared the beach until the next low water.
